Production of syrups
The syrup is produced as an intermediate product for the production of alcoholic drinks, kvass, and others.
The white syrup is a concentrated aqueous solution with a sugar content of 60 to 80 Brix.
We developed a system for the preparation of syrups based on the hot-plate heat exchanger method. The basic elements of a syrup preparation and storage system are:
- Syrup brewing reactor with a built-in agitator;
- Blender for adding powdered materials (sugar, fructose) during the process;
- Sanitary heat exchanger;
- Thermal agent feeding system;
- The product circuit and CIP (main pump, diaphragm valves, filters, sensors, metering pump for dosing the concentrated solution for CIP cleaning);
- Pipelines;
- Remote control and registrations.
By using the same system, the sugar syrup (used for flavor syrups) may be cooled to a temperature of 10-20° C and pumped into storage containers.
The advantages of this system are:
- Maintaining product uniformity;
- Monitoring the concentration of the solution;
- Lack of surface foam;
- Possibility to use the system for both heating and cooling.
